kets were actually used. Grover's Report. The dashing Kearny, aided by Stevens, next fell on Hill's left. Branch's and Pender's North Carolinians and Early's Virginians had moved up to reinforce the front lines, and for some time the line of battle swayed forward and backward. General Jackson had ordered his brigade commanders not to advance much to the front of the railroad, and so they never pressed their advantages far. When Branch advanced, part of the Seventh regiment under Capt. McLeod Turner was deployed as skirmishers around Crenshaw's battery. The Thirty-seventh regiment first became engaged. The Eighteenth and Seventh marched to its aid. Col. R. F. Hoke, with the Thirty-third, was further to the left, and gallantly advanced into the open field and drove the enemy from his front. The Twenty-eighth, under Colonel Lane, fought determinedly in conjunction with Field's left. Finally this brigade, Gregg's and Field's, succeeded in freeing their front of the enemy. This

McLaws ordered his brigades all up that night and set them in battle order, but Franklin did not press him the next morning.

This action lasted from early morning until after dark, and, first and last, many troops took part; but until afternoon it was a series of small battles rather than a connected struggle. This was due to the fact that th

fter dawn a fog, so dense that a horseman could not be seen at fifteen paces, settled down and greatly retarded operations. General Ransom's left was confronted by Generals Weitzel's and Brooks' Federal divisions. General Hoke faced Terry's and Turner's divisions. The Federals occupied a line of works that the Confederates had constructed. In front of a good part of the Federal line, telegraph wires had been stretched near the ground. General Ransom moved out of the trenches before day, aade captured five pieces of artillery and a number of prisoners, and the two brigades occupied the enemy's works. But the enemy attacked Hoke's front with fierceness. Especially on Johnson's right was the fighting continuous, Generals Terry and Turner struggling tenaciously to hold their ground. General Clingman's and General Corse's brigades were sent to Johnson's right. A spirited attack by them failed to entirely carry the intrenchments before them. General Butler, however, withdrew his
